Finally get the recognition as a pro.

I remmeber listening to a podcast few months ago.

One of the nba scouts who was watching him in the u19, iirc, were really impressed with his leadership skills.

This is the Washington Generals unit that scrimmages the Olympic team, right?

Still a great honor and Suggs will make them work

I'm disappointed they haven't looked at Franz Wagner for the USA Basketball Men's Select team.

Is it possible they pick him for the main team?

Maybe he also saw what summer ball did to Franz's legs and he wants to have a strong 3rd year.

Fantastic news. Just hope he doesn't go too hard. We need him healthy.

Happy for them… especially Jalen who, just a year ago, people were calling a bust… at the age of 21. What a great honor for a 3rd year player that is still improving. Well deserved too.

Bronson, Hart, Johnson, Ingram and a few others weren’t on the select team this year as well. Paolo is in the pool of 41 to be selected for the main team, so I am not sure if that is the reason why the others weren’t on this select team as well.

Yes. So was Oladipo the year Paul George broke his leg.

That's bc he's from Michigan and not the US silly. :lol:

Also hes too good to be on a select team he needs to be on the national squad.

Green font ftw! I’m glad I have you guys. Being admitted to the hospital sucks.
